Strategy

The Grand Empire Cathay is ruled by dragons, which you can play: every legendary leader is a descendant of a dragon and can transform into one in combat. They are the strongest units in your army.

You also start in an area where you are relatively protected by many fortified positions and can easily confederate with NPC factions for rapid growth – with the exception of Yuan Bo, the Jade Dragon (The Jade Bastion). He expands from the other side of the map and has a significantly more challenging start, which we do not recommend for beginners.

The greatest strength of Cathay is its enormous economic power, allowing it to easily field many armies. Just don’t get too confused by the Yin/Yang balance here; it only has significance for armies in really tough battles and is otherwise quite straightforward. If you are interested in the faction, you can even play it now in tabletop: The fantasy version of Warhammer is getting its 1st new army in over 15 years, exciting even fans of Warhammer 40,000
